Blissful Days After Widowhood Chapter 25: Longjing Chicken

Because they just arrived, Ningxi did not rashly change the original business model of Tianxianglou, and the people who stayed also let them perform their duties according to the original arrangement, and operated the restaurant first according to the original practice. Some frequent customers If you don't look up at the plaque, you don't even know that the original Tianxianglou has changed to a new owner.

Only after being seated, Xiao Er presented a new menu, which made me surprised. Why are there so many dishes that I have never heard of before? Sweet and sour pork loin, Kung Pao chicken, double-cooked pork, braised pork, fish-flavored shredded pork, and steamed pork, are these all edible? Faced with these questions, Xiao Er proudly told the guests that the new owner of our restaurant has a knack for making meat dishes, so I guarantee that you will want to eat it a second time after you have eaten it for the first time.

If the guests are still hesitating at this time, Xiao Er will continue to introduce some dishes with meat and vegetables, such as braised chicken with chestnuts, eggplant with minced meat, roast beef with potatoes, and familiar vegetarian dishes. Psychologically, it is easier to accept, and usually order one or two dishes to try.

After a day like this, Ningxi checked the ledger after closing in the evening. The income on this day was similar to usual. The meat and vegetables sold accounted for one-third of the total turnover for the whole day, while in the past it accounted for one-tenth Not even one, and according to the feedback from the juniors, none of these guests ate Ningxi's dishes, and none of them complimented them.

Ning Xi nodded after listening. It seems that the people here are quite accepting of their cooking skills. This path is not wrong and should be able to go smoothly. After observing for a few more days, when the time is right, you can carry out drastic reforms according to your own ideas. Ning Xi is very satisfied with this.

The prince of the king of Qi naturally came to the door every day, without Ning Xi's instructions, Meng Shuangshuang would greet him properly, food and wine, and beauties treated each other attentively, so there was no one to sing a little song. Jun Shaofeng stayed in Shuangxi Lou so much that he tried the dishes one by one on the menu. After a few days, he had already tasted most of them, but he was still unsatisfied.

Ningxi took advantage of the time when there were not many customers, and specially made a Longjing chicken and sent it to the private room on the second floor: "Prince son, please try this dish that the girl specially made for the son."

"What dish, have I tried it?" Jun Shaofeng picked up the menu and looked at it.

"This is specially made for Shizi, it's not on the menu yet!"

Jun Shaofeng looked expectantly at Ning Xi to open the lid on the deep plate. It looks like chicken, but the color is green, and I can't help but wonder: "What is this?"

Ningxi introduced: "Longjing chicken, the deep-bottomed pot is covered with sugar cane, the whole chicken is smeared with oil and salt and placed on the sugar cane, and then sprinkled with good Longjing tea leaves, covered and cooked, the chicken absorbs the sugar cane. The sweetness and the fragrance of tea leaves are the best, so please try it, Shizi!”

Jun Shaofeng couldn't wait to take a piece of chicken into the mouth. It turned out that the chicken was tender and the chicken skin was smooth. What's even better is that he had already eaten a lot of food just now. The scent of Longjing has the effect of digesting food and relieving tiredness, so he couldn't help but eat a lot more.

Ning Xi picked up the jug to help him fill up the glass, and said, "Master Shizi, I wonder if the fifth master has free time recently?"

Jun Shaofeng's chopsticks stopped in the air: "Do you want to find Jun Wuye?"

Ning Xi said carefully, "Last time at the Quanyu Banquet at Quan Jufu, Fifth Master Jun promised Minnv that she could come to join us when Minnv's restaurant opened, but Minnv couldn't get in touch with Jun. Fifth Lord, I wonder if Lord Shizi can help the women to invite them on his behalf?"

"Hey, isn't your restaurant already open?" It's been a few days since they opened their doors to do business!

"These days are just a trial operation. After the girl is going to make some money, she will renovate the restaurant and find an auspicious day to officially open it. I hope that Shizi can do me a favor and invite more invitations. Some relatives and friends come to give the people a place to live!"

Jun Shaofeng knew that this girl dared to think about anything. You must know that Jun Shaofeng's relatives and friends are all imperial relatives, so let them help her flourish? Ordinary people really don't have such a big face, but they have a short mouth. He was embarrassed to refuse directly, and simply pushed it directly to Jun Qianyu: "Then I will help you ask Jun Wu Ye!"

Ning Xi said with joy, "I'm really thankful to Shizi, what else do you want to eat, and the girl will cook it for you."

Jun Shaofeng touched his tensed belly: "No need, you can pack two bottles of the five-spice celery from last time and take it back to me." Then he took out a silver note from his bosom. , slapped it on the table, "In the future, I will deduct my meal from here, and I will squeak when it runs out."

Meng Shuangshuang ran down quickly to pack spiced celery for him, Ning Xi quickly picked up the silver note and stuffed it into Jun Shaofeng's hand: "Sir, it's an honor for our shop to come here, how can you accept it? Where's your money!"

Jun Shaofeng glared: "Stop talking nonsense, do you think Xiao Ye is the kind of person who eats free food? If you don't accept the money, you will not give Xiao Ye face." In fact, he really planned to eat free food from the beginning. Come, but Jun Qianyu heard that he went to Shuangxi Tower for dinner every day, and went to the palace specially to tell others that the business is small and profitable, and he can't stand his way of eating, otherwise he will be honest Pay the bill on the spot, or you won't be allowed to come to the door. After a stern warning, he also took away his spiced celery.

The five-spice celery Jun Shaofeng only ate half of it when he got it back, and the remaining half was reserved for his mother and concubine to show filial piety when he returned from the Huguo Temple to worship the Buddha. He murmured, "If you are thinking about the craftsmanship of other girls, just go to Shuangxi Lou to eat!" In return, the other party gave him a blank look: "You think everyone is just like you, doing nothing all day!"

Ningxi certainly won't give Jun Shaofeng face. In fact, she is also distressed when he comes to eat and drink like this every day. After receiving the bank note, he handed the two bottles of spiced celery that Meng Shuangshuang had wrapped to Jun Shaofeng's long attendant, and sent the person out the door with a smile on his face: "Master Shizi, come back tomorrow!"

After the prince of Qi couldn't see the figure, Meng Shuangshuang pulled Ning Xi: "Look, how much did he give?" Ning Xi took out the silver note, "Clang!" It opened in front of Meng Shuang's eyes.

"One thousand taels!" Meng Shuangshuang exclaimed, hurriedly covering her mouth again, looking around, and said in a low voice, "Sure enough, it's a playboy, if you make a random shot, you will be one thousand taels."

Ning Xi squinted his eyes and said to Meng Shuangshuang, "Go and tell the cashier, all the food prices will be doubled if the Prince of Qi comes here to eat and book." Meng Shuangshuang laughed. Can't afford to say: "No way, Ning Xi, you are too treacherous."

Ning Xi flicked the silver note with his hand and said, "Go to someone and ask how much it will cost you to find a craftsman to renovate our restaurant."

"Do you want to renovate? Our restaurant is very good, why do you spend this money?"

"Don't worry, with me, you can earn back whatever you spend."

"Okay, Ningxi, you have the final say, I'll go and find out."

As soon as Jun Shaofeng returned to the palace, a servant came to report: "Master Shizi, the princess has returned to the palace." Jun Shaofeng smiled and said, "Just in time, take a bottle of spiced celery, and I'll go and greet the concubine. ."

Princess Qi Feng Shi was reclining on the soft couch, but in the late summer weather there was a blanket on her lap. Her face was pale and her chin was frighteningly pointed. Gorgeous and unbelievable at all, this will be a pampered princess.

Behind the princess stood a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, but she was round and jade-like, and her round eyes were very smart and lovely. The princess pinched her shoulders and pouted her lips in a coquettish manner: "Mother, you are so cruel, if it weren't for the fact that your daughter was about to get married, I'm afraid you would still be staying in Huguo Temple and wouldn't come back!"

Princess Qi stretched out her hand and patted the back of her hand on her shoulder: "Silly child, how could the concubine be willing to let you two brothers and sisters, at least you have to watch the two of you get married smoothly. Only then can I live in a temple with peace of mind!"

"Mother concubine, in fact, the father and the king are also very concerned about you. I hope you can get better soon."

Princess Qi shook her head and sighed heavily. She has been ill for more than ten years, and even the most powerful imperial doctor in the imperial hospital is helpless. She has long given up any hope, and now she is just lingering. I just hope that I can live another day and see that both children have a good home.

"Mother concubine, do you think I brought you something good?" Before Jun Shaofeng entered the door, his voice came in.

As soon as Jun Peizhi heard his voice, she shouted: "Brother, you are back. These days An Mingyue runs to our palace every day, but it annoys me."

"She came to you, what's the matter with me!" This An Mingyue is the eldest young lady of An Guogong's mansion, about the same age as Jun Peizhi. When they were young, the two studied together in the same women's academy. They are all equally charming and self-willed eldest young ladies, who have been enemies since childhood, who fell in love with each other and killed each other.

When the two were twelve years old, several little sisters from the academy were playing together in the courtyard of the palace, and accidentally met Jun Shaofeng, who was only fifteen years old at the time, and An Mingyue was stunned. Until Jun Shaofeng left for a long time, he was still stunned, his eyes full of that handsome and charming young man.

From then on, it was out of control. Everyone knew that Miss An was madly infatuated with Jun Shaofeng, the prince of Qi Wangfu, to the point of shame. It was all for the sake of seeing Jun Shaofeng. In this regard, Jun Shaofeng said that he was also very helpless!

"It's not like you don't know that I have never dealt with her since we were young. If it wasn't for the chance to meet you, why would she come here every day to feel uncomfortable?"

"Then just tell her I'm not good enough."

"I said it, I said you went to find the girl you like. You are not at home every day these days, and you are looking for that girl."
